Beers from Snitz Creek Brewery and The Vineyard and Brewery at Hershey are flowing from the taps of central Pennsylvania restaurants and bars.

The two local breweries began distributing kegs of their beer through the Camp Hill-based Westy's Beer Distributor in the past month, and, so far so good.

Mike Wilson, one of the partners of The Vineyard and Brewery at Hershey, said Westy's sold out of the brewery's first order in a week and a half. The distributor already has been back to pick up its second order.

"We're working around the clock to replenish the supply, which is a great problem," Wilson said. "So, we're going to keep them busy and vice versa."

"We're not even a year in and demand is through the roof," Wilson said, noting the brewery will be celebrating its one-year anniversary in August.

Currently Westy's is carrying two of the Brewery at Hershey's specialty craft beers — and Pom Beach, a blueberry pomegranate wheat beer with 4.8 percent ABV, and Chocolate M.I.L.F. - Microbrew I'd Like to Finish, an English brown ale with 5.2 percent ABV.

While M.I.L.F. is a flagship beer, Pom is a summer seasonal. When the latter kicks, the brewery could push its Watermelon Wheat out for distribution, Wilson said.

"We're going to do seasonal rotations for distribution," Wilson said. "We're looking at what the market likes before we do that. ... We're easing into this so we can be smart about it."

Snitz Creek Brewery's distribution started about two weeks ago, said Charles E. Hildebrand, manager of the brewery.

"The first shipment has gone well," Hildebrand said. "The fact that we have close to 4,500 followers on Facebook and only been in operation for a couple months really shows again that we are putting a product out that that people appreciate."'

So far, the brewery has a variety of beers on its distribution list, including:

Brown Trout Stout – A classic Irish stout, with hints of cocoa, caramel and roasted barley. The beer is 4.6 percent ABV, according to the brewery's website.

Apple-Weise Wheat – A brew with hints of apple, a creamy texture and 4.8 percent ABV.

Linebreaker Double IPA – Touted by the brewery as a "big hop" and "citrus bomb" along with a hefty 9 percent ABV.

George F. Bradley III, general manager of Westy's, said via email he couldn't "say enough about the quality level" of the two breweries and the support local accounts have shown to them.

Sales sheets from Westy's showed area bars and restaurants have been snapping up kegs of the breweries' beer. Some of those places included Anthony's Micro Pub and Shady McGradys in Harrisburg, Bistro 19 in York, Market Cross Pub in Carlisle, Smoked Bar & Grill in Derry Township, Annie Baileys Irish Pub in Lancaster, Union Beer House in Lebanon, and Funck's Restaurant in Palmyra.

Additionally, Bradley said he expects the craft beer movement will become "more local and more regional as time progresses."

"It makes all the sense in the world to support businesses in your backyard, especially when quality levels of the product warrant doing so," Bradley said. "This is the grassroots of the beer business and breweries like this are what keeps me excited after doing this for 16 years."
